How can you ignore diabetes and the other risk factors that lead to using sugar-free products and are huge risk factors in themselves?
At least exclude certain ones.
Plenty of people use xyitol products for other reasons. For instance, I just bought a pack of xylitol gum to carry because I won’t be able to brush my teeth during the day. Gum with sugar makes my teeth feel worse.
Exclude smokers and people with uncontrolled diabetes and cholesterol at least.
Study the gym goers that want to eat their sugar as treats and use xylitol drinks or breath mints daily.
How much caffeine was in everyone’s system? Alcohol? Were the other blood level markers in range?
With no controls, it could be anything. Maybe they were all covering cigarette and beer breath with mints when they had a cardiac event.

I hate studies like this.
